Deepod

A deepod is a personal transportation pod that uses a pinhole drive to travel through the sublayer, essentially punching in and out of regular spacetime. Passengers are sedated during their journey. They leave from regular shuttleports most everywhere in the GC. Rosemary travels via deepod to get to the Wayfarer.

Deepods tend to run on cheap scrub fuel and are not considered a nice way to travel. They tend to be small, with only enough space for an occupant and their luggage. They have integrated AI with limited functionality. Deepods are equipped with multidimensional warning beacons and follow a trajectories mapped out with marker buoys.

Deepods are somewhat regulated by the GC and are not allowed to travel outside of designated lanes in populated areas. There is debate on whether this minimal level of regulation is sufficient.
